Kim Ye-rim, better known as Yeri in Red Velvet, will star in the upcoming drama " Azure Spring" inspired by a successful webtoon. The information was confirmed on December 2 by his agency, Blitzway Entertainment, which stated: "Kim Ye-rim will appear in Azure Spring. "
A broken heroine seeks to breathe again
In the series, the idol embodies Seo Annaa former national athlete whose sporting career came to an abrupt halt after an injury. Unable to project herself into the future, she decides to leave Seoul and return to her mother's hometown. It's here that she meets Deok Hyeon, a man frozen in his past, also unable to move forward.
Together, they embark on a radically different path: that of the sea. Anna becomes haenyeoa traditional diver, while Deok Hyeon follows a parallel career as a haenam. The ocean gradually becomes a refuge, but also a school of survival, forcing the two characters to confront their wounds to the rhythm of the waves.
A slow romance with a taste of salt and freedom
Unlike classic urban romances, Azure Spring sets its story in a raw, soothing environment. The drama focuses on slow personal reconstruction, loneliness, the fear of growing up and the acceptance of failure. Through learning to dive, the characters resurface not only biologically, but above all emotionally.
Seo Anna is no smooth heroine. She doubts, collapses, resists. Her new dream isn't grandiose, but it's vital: to breathe, to hold on, to exist differently. The sea becomes the symbol of her losses, but also of her rebirths.
With this role, Yeri clearly moves away from light, luminous characters to explore a more restrained, painful, and undoubtedly more mature side of her acting.
